No one has a crystal ball. But if you stay informed, and make sure that you understand ho
w everything from global events to seemingly minor regulatory changes affect your investments, you’ll have a much better chance of meeting or even surpassing your financial goals in the long run. And you’ll have the sense of satisfaction that comes with feeling in control of your money.
Keeping our readers informed of what really matters for their money has been our mission here at MoneyWeek since we launched in November 2000. In that time, we have armed our readers with everything necessary to enable them to make smart financial decisions over the last 20 years - including helping them to navigate the 2007 credit crunch and the resulting 2008 financial crash.
Our mission hasn’t changed. But looking back over the past 20 years, it’s fair to say that a great many other things have.
When our first issue was published on the 4th November 2000, the iPhone didn't exist, nor did the shale oil industry, or bitcoin. Britain was also thinking of joining the euro, which wasn't yet in circulation, and the Bank of England interest rate was 6%. Meanwhile, Amazon’s market cap was £10bn and falling in the midst of the dotcom crash (it’s now about £1.2 trillion and rising in what some say is a tech bubble).
Coming up in our 20th Anniversary Issue
In our 20th anniversary issue - published on 6th November - we take a look at some of the biggest investment themes of today, and how they might affect our world and your investments over the next 20 years. Will bitcoin or another cryptocurrency ever replace cash? Is a fossil-fuel future of driverless cars inevitable – or just a pipe dream?
Here’s just a selection of what we’ll be looking at:
- Longevity and demographics: could our lifespans be improved dramatically, and what might that mean for your investments?
- For the past 40 years, investors have been living in a disinflationary environment. The biggest challenge they face over the next 20 years might well be the return of inflation. How can you prepare your portfolio for this epochal shift?
- Max King tells us the five funds to buy today and forget until 2040
- Matthew Lynn gives his five contrarian predictions for 2040
- Geopolitics in 2040 - will the US remain the superpower and the global hegemon? Which developing economies will have achieved developed status – and which economies might have lost their way?
